How to Get Services
Obtaining Program Services
Lifeworks accepts individuals for its programs from a variety of sources, including:
- The Department of Developmental Services (DDS)
- The Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC)
- Individuals being served, and their families who want to fund their services privately
When an individual is accepted into the Lifeworks program, we invite them to spend two weeks with us at one of our Training & Fulfillment Centers.
Lifeworks welcomes your questions regarding requests, programs and services. Just give us a call at any of the posted contact numbers, or via email. We'll be glad to arrange a tour of our Programs before any decisions are made.

What do our employment services programs cost?

What are Lifeworks' funding sources?

- We also receive funding from the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, (MRC), for job development and employment support services.
- While DDS and MRC are our primary funding sources, we also receive support from the Montachusett Regional Transit Authority and the Public Partnership L.L.C.
- Some individuals purchase services through 'private pay' arrangements.
